What s wrong in Washington is deeper than you think.
Yes, there s gridlock, polarization, and self-dealing. But
hidden underneath is something bigger and more destructive. It s a
broken governing system. From that comes wasteful government,
rising debt, failing schools, expensive health care, and economic
hardship.
Rules have replaced leadership in America. Bureaucracy,
regulation, and outmoded law tie our hands and confine policy
choices. Nobody asks, What s the right thing to do here? Instead,
they wonder, What does the rule book say?
There s a fatal flaw in America s governing system trying to
decree correctness through rigid laws will never work. Public
paralysis is the inevitable result of the steady accretion of
detailed rules. America is now run by dead people by political
leaders from the past who enacted mandatory programs that churn
ahead regardless of waste, irrelevance, or new priorities.
America needs to radically simplify its operating system and
give people officials and citizens alike the freedom to be
practical. Rules can t accomplish our goals. Only humans can get
things done.
In The Rule of Nobody Philip K. Howard argues for a return to
the framers vision of public law setting goals and boundaries, not
dictating daily choices. This incendiary book explains how America
went wrong and offers a guide for how to liberate human ingenuity
to meet the challenges of this century."
